ABS LIGHT STAY ON. I WAS TOLD IT WAS C-1095 CODE.

AIRBAG INDICATOR LIGHT CAME ON MY VEHICLE. AFTER BRINGING IT TO A DEALERSHIP I WAS INFORMED I NEED A NEW DRIVERS SIDE IMPACT AIRBAG AND ELECTRICAL HARNESS. MY VEHICLE HAS NEVER BEEN IN AN ACCIDENT AND I FEEL THE MANUFACTURER SHOULD CORRECT THIS SERIOUS SAFETY DEFECT. ALSO MY ABS WHEEL SPEED SENSOR WIRING WAS SEVERED BY SUSPENSION PARTS DUE TO PLACEMENT OF WIRING CAUSING LOSS AF ABS AND TRACTION CONTROL FUNCTION WITHOUT ANY FAULT OF MINE. I FEEL THAT THE SRS SYSTEM AS WELL AS THE ABS SYSTEM ARE THE TWO MOST IMPORTANT SAFETY FEATURES AND IF THEY SHOULD FAIL AS MINE DID I FEEL IT IS THE MANUFACTURERS RESPONSIBILITY REGARDLESS OF ANY WARRANTY. *TR
